Are you talking of the homes in the metropolis or generally? More than 70% of rural homes in Nigeria do not have access to network or basic amenities and thus are unable to access social media or tertiary education.


Which rural areas are u talking about NORTH OR SOUTH?

Nigerian homes share a large number of similarities. To avoid confusion, when I say Nigerian home, I am referring to more than 90 percent of the population, not the few one percent. Let’s dive right into it and highlight some notable similarities between Nigerian homes!

1. At least one member is on social media: That’s true, you can hardly find a Nigerian home without any member on social media. In fact, that’s a good bet to take because you will most certainly win it any time of the day. Regardless of the phones possed, members of Nigerian homes have at least one social media account. It’s no surprise that even members with phones that are commonly referred to as touch light phones have social media accounts.

2. Most commute via public transportation: At least one member of a Nigerian home uses public transportation as their primary mode of transportation. In many cases, the number is higher than one member.

3. At least one graduate of higher education: Nigerian homes have at least one member who is a graduate of higher education institution, it may be a university, polythetic or others but what remains constant is that at least there’s one graduate of higher education in Nigerian homes.

4. Dreams of life abroad: At least one member of every Nigerian home dreams of either visiting or relocating abroad permanently. The number is even on the higher side when it comes to those who are yet to go for a master’s degree. They see a master’s degree from abroad as a golden opportunity.

Is there something that we have left out? Use the comment section to share it.

The problem with educated Nigerians is they feel they represent Nigeria. You will be shocked how many homes are not on social media and do not have graduates!!!

How many graduates do you think we produce a year? Our total university student population is 1.8 assuming a quarter of that graduate every year (4 year course) we are only producing 450K graduates every year, yet our population grows by 5 million every year. Therefore every year only 10% of the incremental population becomes a graduate. Assuming an average family of 5, the best the average graduate per family can be is 50%. considering there will be families where more than 1 or all the members are graduates, this will skew the actual data to more like 25% or less.


By the way as an aside, in the 1980s when we had a population of 65m, we were only producing 20,000 graduates a year....that was why it was easier to fund universities.
